With global distributionoptions, your e-book can be listed right away in a hundred or more countries. As an onlinepublisher, your influence and reach is much more expansive than that of traditional publishing. You are rewarded with higher royalty. With this kind of book publishing, you may be requiredto put in greater effort, but all your hard work will pay off in the end. As a self-publisher, you getto keep all or most of your profits.
